YC Implements Cheer and Pom Squad

York College announced this semester the implementation of a Cheer and Pom Squad for the 2011-12 academic year.  "We feel that a cheer and pom squad will be a positive addition to our campus,” stated Jared Stark, Athletic Director. “It can be a great support for our athletic teams, a boost to student recruitment and most importantly assist the campus and community during athletic events."

Current and prospective students are already being recruited for the squad. A clinic and try-outs are scheduled for August 28th and 29th.  Those chosen for the squad will be eligible for scholarships beginning in the Fall 2011. "I'm very excited about coaching and looking forward to seeing the tryouts,” said Tamara Sanchez, Cheer Squad sponsor.  “Not only will the team bring a lot of excitement to athletic events, but members will be held to a high level of character and student conduct befitting the college’s mission."
